Hi, welcome to my website.

I'm Victoria, a freelance copy-editor and proofreader based in Ballyclare, Northern Ireland. As a professional editor I highlight and correct spelling, grammatical and structural errors in documents and manuscripts.

I had a client recently who was the most engaged client I’ve
ever had. He had me answer a whole myriad of questions before he took me on to
edit his book, he rang me weekly to see where I was with it, what I was doing
to it and what my thoughts were about it. It was frustrating on the one hand
but on the other it was quite refreshing; I’d never had a client who was so

I have employed Victoria Woodside for several projects over the past year and found her to be an excellent proofreader. She is thorough, eagle-eyed and meticulous. She is also a pleasure to work with - professional yet friendly, efficient and timely. I can't recommend Victoria highly enough...

I am working with Victoria on two projects and am extremely pleased with her work: one piece of work is fiction and the other is non-fiction. She is able to edit equally well on both even though they are two entirely different genres. She has checked facts, corrected spelling and punctuation and made good suggestions about layout and formatting. The work is all mine but she has somehow made it better. I look forward to working with Victoria in the future.

Victoria provided a fast, attentive and very thorough service. It immensely improved my work and focused my attention on various aspects of my writing throughout my dissertation.

I found Victoria easy to deal with, she has a pleasant and willing manner and always responded to emails/calls/texts promptly. Victoria engaged well with the content of my book and was considerate of the subject matter. Victoria was thorough in her proofreading and demonstrated a high level of attention to detail.

Victoria offered suggestions but was not forceful with any of them, and was open to my view on her suggestions. I found Victoria to be professional and efficient in her work and I would have no difficulty recommending her to others and I would certainly use her services again in the future.

Victoria has been amazing at helping shape the flow and language of our brochure, from simple mistakes to rewording entire sections.

This had made a big difference to the standard and quality of our brochure, which we are very grateful for.
